For me, that one food would have to be eggs. The mere smell of someone cooking eggs or any kind of omelet with eggs and cheese causes an instant gag reflex. I'll actually have to leave the room. I won't even eat cookies or cakes or anything that have eggs in them.

While I enjoy spicy, intense things like curries and wasabi and so on, I think I'll stay away from those naga jolokia peppers or any kind of "ghost" pepper or chili.

Literally anything with gluten in it. Celiac disease is no fun, let me tell you. Nothing with wheat, barley, or rye, and I even have to be careful about quinoa (some cultivars have a protein in them that mimics gluten and causes the same reaction). I've had to stop eating a lot of my favorite foods, and I've become a label hawk. Says something about going organic, though!

I desperately miss my grandmother's fried chicken, though. I can make fried chicken myself with gluten free bread crumbs, but it's just not the same.

I can't stand eggs either. I feel like vomiting if I try to eat them/smell them.

instead of bread crumbs, if you have a food processor, grind up nuts. I use pepitas and chipotle to make a really amazing 'breading'.

Can't eat chocolate. I haven't had one piece of this stuff for well over 30 years now.

Allergic to pork. I can't even eat BBQ off a grill that has had pork on it. Can't eat take out pizza because there's a possibility of getting a small amount of pork grease. I have to be real careful when I go out to eat.

As far as foods I don't like. Fish. I've tried the breaded stuff. Not bad. However.... the grease. Went to clean up after cooking some breaded fish. Pan was full of thick grease. Nothing I did got rid of this grease. Not even boiling water. I went out in my garage. Got some engine de greaser. And finally was able to remove this horrid slime from my pan. There's no way I'm putting that in my body every again.
